A modern cabin, beautifully situated on a lake with small coves that invite you to linger. Those who dare can enjoy a refreshing swim.The Bossbu cabin (1,030 meters, 27 beds) is open year-round (no key required) and is self-catering (firewood, provisions, fully equipped kitchen). Non-members pay approximately €40 per night (excluding provisions).

The hut seemed to be one of the most frequented, and certainly not without reason: both huts have a spacious common room with panoramic windows. There are enough small rooms, so with a bit of luck, you'll have private sleeping quarters. There is cell phone reception on a nearby mountain [Botnsfjellet] (15 minutes away); a notice in the hut indicates this. If you start your tour here and aren't yet a DNT member, you should definitely sign up, especially if you're under 27, but it's also worth it if you stay three nights or more; the provisions are also cheaper! You can sign up either on the mountain via your cell phone or on the forms in the hut.
You should pay for the huts via app; it's cheaper then! More information about the hut (in Norwegian):
